Hi, Markup template sections are intended for defining output markup, they are not scanned for input markup so that most text can be used unescaped. So very little markup is recognised and cannot be extended without risking backward compatibility with existing configuration files. The only things that are guaranteed to work are defined here http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_markup_template_sections That does not include user macros, so the fact that your defined macros actually work might actually be considered a bug, since some constructs might need escaping in the output text but that fact isn't documented.
